This is the time the whales migrate south and we see them off Belmar feeding on all the big bait fish. Join us only a couple weeks left. This is the Friday morning sunrise November 12th 2021
November is peak whale watching season
We are in peak whale migrating season as evidenced by all our whale and wildlife sightings the past three days. We saw three different whales on our trip yesterday and we were right off of Spring Lake! The opportunities to go out are quickly dwindling as storms are churning and the weather is getting colder, but we want to take full advantage of every day that the ocean and weather cooperate with us. This really is the best time to go whale watching and the only time there is a possibility of seeing the highly endangered North Atlantic Right Whale. It was this time last year that we had the incredibly rare experience of seeing one of these beautiful whales on our trip. It was an unforgettable moment for everyone on the boat.
We are keeping a close watch on the weather and ocean conditions to plan our last trips of the season. Friday looks like a definite wash out. Temperatures are warmer this week and right now the weather for Saturday and Sunday looks good, hopefully the seas will be good to go out as well. This Thursday is Veteran’s Day and it looks like a good day to go out. It will definitely be a small group that is more like a private charter. If you are off work and considering joining us please book your ticket- we need 25 to go out- if we don’t get enough guests we will automatically refund your money. Feel free to email me with any questions.
Please remember, free trips do not carry forward into next year. Don’t miss your opportunity to sail with us again before the end of the season. We never know exactly how long the weather will hold out or how long the whales will remain so don’t wait much longer!
We are planning another sunset- full moon trip on both Thursday November 18th and Friday, November 19th. It will be a gorgeous sunset and full moon rising. The November 19th full moon, also called the Beaver Moon, will be a Blood Moon! That is because this year it is accompanied by a partial lunar eclipse! About 98% of the moon will be covered by the earth’s shadow giving it a reddish color. Our October full moon trip was absolutely amazing and with the lunar eclipse, this one promises to be even better!

We had such an amazing season this year and hope to enjoy a few more great trips before the season ends. Adjust your schedule so you can see these giants of the sea one more time before they are gone for the winter. You may even get to see a North Atlantic Right Whale! Get out there with us to enjoy the abundance of whales and wildlife we are seeing right now- book you trip today! We look forward to seeing you on the boat!
Happy Whale Watching!

Sunday Nov. 7th trip report amazing day
Our adventurous day went north out of Belmar, from the shark river towards Lond Branch and further. Our captain Thought there was a whale, but it did not resurface, so we went south towards Spring Lake since we had another reported whale sighting. Well before we got there, a big surprise, common dolphins! Special treat as they usually are way offshore, but they were within a few miles of the coast. They swam and were playful. They were swimming alongside the bow of the boat! We were so amazed that we saw the spout of the whale # 1 for the day at the same time. It turns out he is whale number 196 Gotham Whale catalog, who was seen last year at this time. Usually, whales spout and do a shallow dive, repeat and make a deeper dive the third time. Not this one! Each time he surfaced, it was one breath and deep dive. Saw plenty of tail. He even did a tail slap. Off in the distance was another whale near Manasquan. This whale was not deep diving and was kind of mellow. We got some photos and headed back north . we encountered whale number 1 and then a 3rd whale on our way back to the Shark River inlet, and amazing day Such a whale good time! We made up a story that whale # 2 went to see whale # 1 because she “Whaley, Whaley loved him”. Okay, that was bad but it was funny at the time! We also had a beautiful sunset, wonderful afternoon! Only a few weeks left join us soon!
Sunset whale watching season is here
Saturday November th whale watching review
We had another awesome day whale watching. Clear blue skies led us to two different humpback whales within 1 mile of each other. We were riding from Belmar down to Point Pleasant and then turned around. We were able to spot the first humpback in Avon by the sea about 1 mile off the beach, the 2nd one was in Bradley beach. I great local trip .join us soon only a few weeks left.Remember if you don’t see a whale we take you back out for free the same season.Call or email us if you have a free trip you want to use in the next few weeks. Whale watching free trips do not carry into the next year.
Friday November 5th whale watching report
Whale right off the beach!
Happy to report we had another successful whale watching trip today!. We left the Shark River and headed north towards where our sister ship had numerous whale sightings earlier in the day. We found our whale right off of Asbury Park. We had quite a few students from Fusion school and they were all delighted to see a whale in the wild! One of the students even spotted the dogfish, photo below
Such a memorable class trip! The whale was feeding on the abundance of bunker fish in the area so he stayed pretty close to shore. He was clearly not afraid of the boat and gave us plenty of great photo opportunities and lots of tail shots. With such small groups going out there was plenty of room for everyone on the boat to get the perfect viewing spot. It’s so much fun to hear the excited shouts every time the whale surfaced! Interestingly, as we followed the whale, he actually led us south right back to the Shark River inlet where we started! Perfect trip!
We only have a few more trips scheduled before the end of the season so don’t miss out- Book your trip today! There is plenty of room on the boat to move around and find a warm sunny spot or you can always go inside our heated cabin and enjoy some hot chocolate and cookies. We sell snacks like hot dogs and hot pretzels and we even sell sweatshirts and blankets- everything you need to have a warm, enjoyable trip. Just dress warm, bring your camera and get ready for an amazing experience! We are going out Saturday and Sunday, come out and join us and watch these giants of the sea migrate south for the winter. You’ll be happy you did!
Almost forgot we also saw a Spiny dogfish are the most commonly known of the two-dogfish species that inhabit the coastal waters off New Jersey. … Spiny dogfish are also referred to as mud shark, skittledog, Atlantic spiny dogfish and Pacific spiny dogfish. The spiny dogfish is widely found from north to south on both coasts of North America.

November 3rd whale watching trip report
Wednesday November 3. 2021
Triple Play today!
What a great return to our whale watching trips after over a week of being unable to go out because of the storms and rough surf.
We got off to a great start by seeing not one but two bald eagles right in the Shark River! Then as soon as we got out into the ocean we came upon a super pod of hundreds of dolphins!
Everyone had fun watching them jump out of the water all around the boat. We watched them for a little bit and then headed on south to find our humpback whale. We didn’t have to travel too far before we found him. We were just off of Manasquan beach when we first spotted him. This was a younger humpback whale and the first time he has been seen by our research team. It’s always exciting to add a new whale to our database.
Based on this whale’s size, our naturalist, Danielle, believes that this whale was recently weened from its mother. Very cool to see such a young whale on its own. He seemed be be doing fine without his mother. He was eating loads of fish and pooping a lot to prove it! It didn’t matter where you were on the boat, everyone had a great view of the whale and plenty of photo opps. It was a lot of fun watching this whale. We got plenty of tail shots, saw some sharking behavior where the whale shows the tip of one side of its flukes (which can look like a shark fin) and we even got to see some lunge feeding! It was really exciting to see all these whale behaviors up close. But our fun didn’t end there. On our way back to the marina, we came upon our super pod of dolphins again. They were jumping through our wake and gave us another great show. This was a very successful trip, indeed!
The entire time we were less than a mile off shore and just outside of Belmar. We only have a few weeks left of the season so don’t miss out. It’s really not too cold as long as you dress warm. And the weather is supposed to warm up at the end of the week and into next week. With smaller groups going out you won’t be crowded and can move freely all around the boat. The upper deck is flooded with sunlight making it nice and warm and there is always the inside heated cabin to retreat to if you feel cold. We also have hot chocolate and coffee to help keep you warm and toasty. It’s really the best time to go out and get the last sightings of the whales before they migrate too far south. Don’t wait until next year to see humpback whales – see them now! Book your trip today- you will be happy you did!

Sunday 10/24 Picture Perfect Whale Watching Trip
Picture Perfect Whale Watching Day!
Who needs Alaska or Hawaii?? We have the Jersey Shore!!
We had quite a few reports of whales a few miles off shore so instead of our usual course heading north, we headed east out to sea a bit. The seas were calm and the sun was shining. It was a beautiful day on the ocean! We had a nice 45 minute ride to the siting locations. Along the way guests enjoyed hot cocoa and hot dogs from the galley. Once we got to the area where the sightings were, it wasn’t long until we found our humpback whale. The whale was pretty curious about us so a few times the captain shut the engines off and we just watched the whale go all around the boat. He would stay at the surface a little bit so we could all see his huge flipper fins right under the surface and then he would take a deeper dive and show us his tail flukes! This whale definitely gave everyone on the boat plenty of great photo opportunities! Everyone was so thrilled and excited to see this gentle giant of the sea up close and personal! No need for expensive trips to Alaska or Hawaii- you don’t even need to drive hours to Cape May- just head on over to Belmar and come out with us! We are in peak migration season and soon the whales will be too far away for us to see them. We want to take advantage of seeing the whales whenever we can before the season ends so if the weather and seas are good, we will go out. It’s definitely worth watching the weather and adjusting your schedule to be able to join us. There’s no better reason to take a sick day!!
Don’t miss out- join us before the end of the 2021 season! And don’t forget our trips make great gifts- get your 2022 gift certificates. There’s no easier gift to buy and everyone loves to get our gift certificates! Check out our calendar for our last scheduled trips of the season and to see our 2022 dates. We hope to see you before our whales leave us until next year- come out and see them before they go!

Sunset, full moon whale watching what a beautiful day
Whales, dolphins, sunset and moonrise- Perfect 10 of a day!
We had the most beautiful day on the ocean today! We left at 3:00 for our special Sunset-Full Moon Whale Watch trip. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, the ocean was as blue and calm as could be and the temperature was just perfect! We left the Shark River and headed south. We were barely traveled 10 minutes when we came upon our Humpback Whale. Everyone enjoyed watching him and everyone had plenty of opportunities to get photos. We had a small group so everyone could easily move around to different areas of the boat to get their best shots. We stayed with the whale for a little bit and then left him to see what we could find further south. It was not long again before we came upon a superpod of dolphins! There were hundreds of dolphins all around the boat. It was so much fun watching them splash and jump all around the boat and play in our wake. They really gave us a great show and plenty of great photo opportunities. At this point it was getting close to sunset, so we started heading back north to where we saw our first whale, hoping to get sunset photos with him. Fortunately, all our wishes came true! We found the whale in the same area just as the sun was setting. We got the most beautiful photos of the whale with the sunset in the background. It was truly amazing!! Once the sun set we continued towards the Shark River waiting for the full moon to rise over the ocean. Just when we thought the day couldn’t get any better, we saw the beautiful orange glow of the full moon rising over the horizon. More beautiful, amazing photo opportunities! To the west we could see the red orange glowing sky from the sunset and to the east we saw the biggest most beautiful orange moon rising over the ocean. It was absolutely perfect!! Definitely one of the best days of the season!! Tomorrow’s weather is going to be a repeat of today so you still have a chance to enjoy this warm October weather and see humpback whales as they migrate south. It will be a small group so you will have plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the fresh ocean air. We are going out all weekend but it won’t be as warm as it will be tomorrow. Don’t miss out on the last warm days of the season- book your trip with us today!
Trish DeVoe Naturalist, Jersey Shore Whale Watch
Fantastic weather Thursday and whales!
We had an awesome day of whale watching join us Friday
Picture perfect day!!
The weather was an absolute 10 today! The only thing that made it better was being on a boat watching a humpback whale swim right under us! We had an amazing day out on the ocean! We found humpbacks right off of Long Branch. He was very curious about us and was swimming circles around the boat as he was feeding. He even surprised everyone by swimming right up to the boat and then underneath us! The water and sky were so crystal clear- we could see the NYC skyline even as far away as Long Branch. It truly was a picture perfect day for whale watching and tomorrow’s forecast is for the same beautiful weather and calm seas. Saturday looks like a blow out due to high seas but Sunday is looking good. This is probably one of the last warm weekends we will have for a while so if you’ve been thinking about going out with us tomorrow and Sunday are your days to go!! Don’t miss out on this gorgeous weather and seeing the whales migrating south- book your trip today!!

Trip review by Linda a frequent passenger on our trips.
Went on the afternoon Jersey shore whale watching tour. They saw whales on Saturday and Sunday and I was hoping the streak would continue. There had been a whale sighting several miles East and so that is where we headed but no luck. Turned north and after a while, past Long Branch and Monmouth Beach, there was a humpback whale! He was taking it easy for a while, just drifting along the surface of the water. Then he got more active, doing many deep dives and showing his tail. Also did some pectoral fin slapping. The fin was so large, it almost looked like a sailboat.
There were some amazing things on his trip. Saw 2 sea turtles, although I only saw it going down and out of sight, jumping tunas, other flying fish, and the sky. The sky was amazing. First, as we headed east, it was sunny to the south and cloudy and hazy to the north. When we headed north, eventually the sun appeared and the blue sky make the water look so blue but there were clouds to the south. It was beautiful. Another cute item is the picture of the small bird that was on the bow of the boat.
Wonderful day on the water.
Join us soon We will be whale watching 5 days a week till late November
Sunday whale tail of a day.
Whale Report October 3,2021
Whale Tails
We had another amazing whale watching day today! Another picture perfect warm fall day with calm rolling waves- perfect for being out on the ocean. We headed north towards where the whales were yesterday, passing Avon, Ocean Grove, Asbury and Long Branch. The fog rolled in a bit over the ocean but it didn’t get in our way at all. We were on our way to find the whales! Once we got up around Sandy Hook, we headed east a bit, about 2 miles off of the shore. When we saw a huge splash a bit in the distance we knew we found or whale! This whale was quickly identified by our lead naturalist, Danielle, as Whale #16. This is one of the first whales identified in the area about 9 years ago. It was so much fun watching this whale today. He kept slapping his tail and sticking it out of the water. It wasn’t clear if he was doing this to stun the fish or if he was just doing it for fun, but it was very clear that everyone on the boat was thoroughly enjoying watching him! You could hear shouts awe all around the boat. This whale spent a lot of time near the surface and came very close to the boat a few times. The captain shut the engines off and we just floated there and watched the whale do his thing. The whale was very entertaining and gave us all plenty of great photo opportunities. The fog even cleared and the sun came back out making it even nicer. Sometimes when the whale dove he did it in almost slow motion slowly lifting his tail way out of the water as if he wanted us to get great pics of it! If ever a whale was a ham, #16 definitely is! We really hated to leave but we are so excited to see what our next trip brings. Don’t read about it in our whale report- come out with us and experience it for yourself! October is peak whale watching time as the whales are migrating south for the winter. The weather is still comfortable and we have a heated cabin in case it gets chilly. Plus we sell hot food and drinks and warm Jersey Shore Whale Watch sweatshirts! We have all you need to enjoy a day on the ocean watching humpback whales. Don’t wait any longer- book your trip with us today!

A beautiful Saturday afternoon 3 whales
We had a great day on the ocean. Whale report for Saturday October 2, 2021
Triple Play Saturday!!!
What an amazing Whale watching day! We headed north and went all the way up to the tip of Sandy Hook where we came upon our first whale. We actually spotted him almost a mile away because he was breaching completely out of the water. When we reached him he continued to give a show slapping his giant pectoral fins over and over again. We were still enjoying watching this whale flap and wave his giant fins when two more whales came upon us. Everyone on the boat was so thrilled to see so many whales. It was such a beautiful early fall day with clear blue skies perfect for photos of whales with the NYC skyline in the background. It doesn’t get any better than this! We even have shots of the whales centered with the Verrazano Narrows bridge right behind it. Seeing the NYC skyline from the water is beautiful in and of itself, add whales to the photos and its just over the top! Truly amazing day! We are going out again tomorrow- it’s not too late to join us!! We have many more fun trips scheduled for the next month and into November to see the whales on their migration back to warmer Caribbean waters. This is the best time to see whales! We are having a special Halloween Costume Whale Watching party Friday Oct 29th. Everyone in costume gets a free Jersey Shore Whale Watch T-shirt and a prize to the best costume plus a few more surprises. It’s going to be a really fun trip, join us!!

Here is a review from one of our frequent passengers Linda.
What a fun trip last evening! Sunset cruise up towards Sandy Hook and back to Belmar. Ocean was so calm you could see everything so clearly. NYC was dazzling! On the way back, saw some very entertaining dolphins that were jumping and breeching out of the water. They were on all sides of the boat and everyone had a great time watching them. Then the beautiful sunset!

Dolphins on Wednesday gorgous day on the ocean.
Monday whale watching trip photos dolphins and whales
Monday September 27, 2021
We had a wonderful day on the ocean today! Yesterday we saw three whales just north of Long Branch so we headed that way again today. It was a picture perfect day, we couldn’t have asked for better weather. We passed Long Branch without seeing any whales so we continued north toward Sandy Hook. We were only about a mile and a half off shore so we had great views of all the ocean towns and beaches. Just as we were approaching our turn around point a whale surfaced right in front of the boat. Our persistence in searching paid off! The whale was heading southwest at a pretty fast pace but we were able to keep up with him at a safe distance. The whale was following the bait fish and ended up swimming very close to the shore where he met up with some dolphins. Now the trip got even more exciting!! The dolphins were swimming all around the whale and jumping way up out of the water. It looked like a SeaWorld show but this show was so much better!! There is nothing like observing whales and dolphins in their natural habitat engaging in their natural behaviors. It was so beautiful to see these two different species interacting together. The entire boat was in awe watching the whale and dolphins swimming around together. At one point it looked like the dolphins were almost jumping on the whale’s back. It was quite a spectacular display! As we are entering into peak migration season, our trips are getting more and more exciting. We have many great trips planned for October so be sure to book your marine mammal adventure with us. The weather is still really nice, just a little cooler on the ocean so bring a jacket or get your Jersey Shore Whale Watch sweatshirt on the boat. Check our website for all our upcoming trips. You don’t want to let the season pass you by!

Double Header Sunday actually a triple!
We ran 3 whale watching trips Sunday two from Belmar and one from Point Pleasant.
‘Here is the review from the 2nd Belmar sunset whale watching trip, photos by passenger Linda
Second trip was a whale watching sunset cruise. Oh what an evening. We knew there was an almost full moon, the Harvest moon. Next, there were clear skies for seeing a beautiful sunset. Best, we found the whale off of the Sea Girt area. Whale #153 was the whale who would entertain us tonight. He was first spotted in NJ in 2019 and was seen last week here..
When the whale exhaled, the noise was so loud I jumped! He was pretty close to the boat! The water running off the the whale at sunset was orange colored. Saw the whale in the moonlight.
The crew was fantastic as they kept trying to get us that perfect shot between the setting sun and full moon. Fantastic trip and I hope they do this again!
Waiting for the weather to clear
Lol warning I used voice to text on this post!
As we all can see it’s a beautiful day but on the ocean there’s still waves from the storm
it’s way up to see we have to see if the ocean calms down, the fishing boats went out this morning will get a report from them about 9 o’clock 930 that will make a decision on today’s afternoon whale watching trip which doesn’t look very promising right now at 7:30 AM
so if you want one of the trips today don’t travel great distances until we’ve spoken to you and if you want to just change to another date it’s definitely wouldn’t be a beginners day if we go today would be like an intermediate day. My gut tells me we probably won’t go I would at all today
We will give it time, to see if we can get the trip in and enjoyable The wheels of been here all week so we’re hoping there are some wheels and close but if there’s not will cancel
you can email us from your confirmation if you want to change the date that’s easiest way to contact us on a day like this one the phones will be busy
Monday afternoon whale watching fun trip
On today’s whale watching trip we headed north from the shark river towards Sandy Hook.

Everyone enjoyed a beautiful September afternoon on the ocea. We had many people on board today for thier free return trip if you don’t see a whale. The crowd was not disappointed it was a fun day it really was hope you take the time out of your schedule to come out with us we’re watching season is in full stride peak season is about here when the wells will start moving from Maine and Massachusetts down towards the Caribbean and they passed right by the beaches of Belmar so book your trip soon with jerseyshorewhalewatch.com

Friday afternoon whale watching trip report
Tuesday afternoon whale watching success
Tuesday afternoon we left the marina in Belmar about 50 people on the boat which is not much for both the holds 150 people. We headed north towards the feeding grounds for the humpback whales of the coast of Monmouth County New Jersey where the whales are feeding we got some great photos everyone had a nice time here are some of the photos from today’s whale watching trip.
Here is a passenger report:
Went out with Jersey Shore Whale Watch. Headed out from Belmar and went north. Found one humpback whale around Long Branch that was feeding below the surface. The whale was in a pattern of 2 shallow dives followed by a deep dive. That gave us plenty of time to get tail shots. The whale was moving pretty quickly but Captain John did a great job of always getting us closer to the whale.without getting too close. The water was very calm. Thought it would have been so much rougher ahead to the storm tomorrow. We looked for other whales and dolphins but couldn’t find any. But we did spend a lot of time with this whale. So great to go out on the ocean to get refreshed and re-centered.
Trip report Monday August 30th whales and dolphins
Double header on a hot Thursday afternoon
Double Header Thursday!
We left the scorching hot dock for the cool refreshing ocean on our search for humpback whales. We headed south out of the river passing Belmar, Spring Lake, Point Pleasant, Bay Head and Mantoloking. We were close to shore the entire time so everyone got to enjoy the scenic views of all these beautiful beach towns. The cool ocean air never felt more refreshing than it did today! We were just off of Lavallette when we spotted our first humpback whale. While all the passengers were ooohing and ahhhhing the first whale, a second whale emerged at the back of the boat. We had two humpbacks!! One of the whales gave us some great tail shots and our naturalist, Danielle, was able to identify it as whale number 172 who was first spotted in our area two years ago. Passengers on both sides of the boat were able to get great views of these whales. You could hear the kids screaming with delight every time the whales surfaced. Everyone was so excited to actually see humpback whales in the wild! It was a very happy day out on the ocean. Everyone was buying our Jersey Shore Whale Watch t-shirts to take home as a reminder of the great time they had with us today! They left with memories to last a lifetime and stories to tell their friends when they go back to school. We see more and more humpbacks as we enter into the fall season so it’s not too late for you to join us. There is no better place to be on a hot summer day than out on the cool ocean watching humpback whales! We have an upper and lower deck and an air conditioned cabin. You can bring your own snacks and drinks including adult beverages or you can purchase drinks and snacks from our galley. Our trips are family friendly fun for the entire family! Don’t wait any longer, book your trip with us today! We promise you a great time and guarantee you’ll see a whale or you come back for free. It’s a win-win!

It was a hot day on the beach but cool on the ocean 8/25
From passenger Linda
Hot out? Finished work and headed for afternoon whale watching. It was cooler on the ocean and had some nice breezes. There were reports of Minke whales off of Manasquan so that is where we headed. Along the way, saw dolphins, tuna, sharks, cow-nosed rays, and lots of bunker fish. After a while a Minke Whale appeared but would not stay around too long. Eventually, we saw 3 or 4 different Minke Whales. One crossed right in front of the boat. There was a lot of activity with fish jumping all over the place. Also saw a few Wilson’s storm petrels.
In terms of fish this summer, I can now recognize Mahi-Mahi, Sea Robin and everything else I call “a fish”! Another fun day with friends at Jersey Shore Whale Watch.
Wednesday whale watching trip report 8/18
No whale spotted , but many dolphins free trips for all JSWW CUSTOMERS
Sorry we didn’t see a whale today, we certainly tried, everyone did see dolphins on the trip. You qualify for a free return trip, on a date of your choice. You need to take the free trip this year. Weather permitting, we have daily trips until Labor Day Monday, then 3 to 4 days a week, until mid November, so you have plenty of time to go out to see whales and dolphins. The best news is, the trip will be free. The tickets are not transferable, please don’t ask us to do such a thing. You can’t substitute people, it wouldn’t be fair for the Captain and crew that are providing this free trip for you. Just email us a date or two that works for you, and we will get you out there for your free trip. It’s as simple as that. Please, invite your friends to purchase tickets. We are the only whale watching company, in New Jersey, that guarantees you’ll see a whale. Thanks. Bill McKim
Off shore all day whale watching trip report Aug. 16th
From passengers Anne Marie, who also help me with shirt sales Here is her report
O Point Pleasant, Jersey Shore, NJ 12+ hour 8/16/2021. Glorious, sunshiny day, lots of laughs with fantastic friends and ocean bird seekers. Starting at the dock with an amazing crab. 🦀 We saw several different birds, Minke, Finback, Humpback whales 🐋 , Dolphins 🐬 (the smallest of all whales) a whales tail hourglass tattoo, Loggerhead turtle 🐢, Tuna and fresh Mahi-mahi from the bow! We collected ocean trash along the way with a gaff, saw a container ship anchored, as the entire crew has Covid & not allowed to dock and a very special picture of our fearless leader 😏
Still need to go through my pictures but wanted to get this post up !
Hi lights were:
- At least 5 huge Finback whales
- 7 Minke whales
- dolphins , and some of them were racing each other.
- bow riding dolphins
- birds were kinda of scarce
- Humpback whale
- sea turtles
- ‘sharks jumping clear out of the water
- Bluefin tuna everywhere near the Atlantic Princess wreck site NJ
- perfect weather conditions
Went on a 12 hour whale watching, bird exploration trip to the Triple Sea Wreck area about 40-50 miles off of the coast. Started with a beautiful sunrise! Does it get any better than a sunrise over the ocean? Next, time to enjoy some bagels and coffee compliments of Captain Dave. The boat, the Queen Mary from Point Pleasant, has an upper and lower level; so much room for 27 passengers to move about.
As we approached the area of where the tuna fishing boats were, we saw our first Fin back and Minke Whales. The Finbacks were huge. So huge! Some maybe 80 -85 feet long! Whereas the minke whales are small, 25 feet or less.
Dolphins were swimming with the whales and also swimming with the boat. It was spectacular.
The birders had food that they were putting out to attract the birds and the birders were enjoying themselves. Unfortunately, I don’t remember any the the bird names. 9( Wilson Storm Petrels )We were told to look for a bird with a white face and were told they found it. Apparently it is quite rare.
More whales, dolphins, jumping fish, shark, tuna and a sea turtle or two. I couldn’t figure out what this orange colored round type of object was. It was the head of the turtle! Loggerhead SeaTurtle
Balloons: we fished out Spider-Man, and a happy 21 or 11 birthday along with others. Saw more than a dozen helium balloons. Please dispose of the helium balloons properly. Otherwise they wind up in the ocean and some whale or other wildlife swallows them and it causes all types of issues.
It was such a great day but no humpbacks,……until the end! Captain Dave took the scenic way home from the south so that we passed by Sea Side. Then the excitement: something was flapping or jumping… was it a shark or a whale? A Humpback whale. Well, you know how you always think, wouldn’t it be great if the whale would surface right in front of the boat? Well it did. I mean really next to the boat, immediately in front and along side the boat. It was crazy! Got some tail shots and the perfect day on the water came to an end.
Reflecting on the experience, the best part was the never ending laughter and beauty shared among friends new and old.
From our naturalist on board, her report is very short to the point.
Trip summary! 5 finbacks (including one that was pushing 70 feet! Look at the size of that head!), 2 minkes (but probably more), about 100 short-beaked common dolphins, 3 sea turtles, 1 shark, and 1 inshore humpback! Quite a day! Jersey Shore Whale Watch Gotham Whale
Saturday whale watching trip report
It’s been an interesting few days we’ve spider wells but they’ve been elusive hard to follow don’t like hanging out with the boat some of them takeoff through I was able to photograph the minke I saw the Humpback whale spotted by our naturalist off about 1 mile east of us in Bayhead nj beach. The highlight of the day was this rare hammerhead shark I don’t know seem full-size to me I’ll have to find out from Danielle if she thinks it’s full-size it was beautiful swim right up next to the boat everyone got to see it it was an interesting day I wouldn’t put it in the top 25% of our whale watching trip‘s but the hammerhead shark certainly made it a unique day we’ve never seen a hammerhead shark I’m one of our trips.
A hot Friday report 3 whales today
So today was not easy we had three whales at three different times and they were all hard to photograph.. we first head south towards Seaside Park where we saw a Minke whales three times and then he disappeared! He then decided to head a few miles off shore withe the beautiful weather and calm seas. We found a humpback whale who appeared twice and the disappeared. We then headed south saw another whale mostly a minke whale that appeared right in front of the boat but with a charter fishing boat coming in the other direction the whale was scared off! So it was an interesting day gorgeous weather ver warm at the dock but beautiful on the ocean. Join us soon on https://jerseyshorewhalewatchingtour.com Jersey Shore Whale Watch we will be running these trips till mid November.
Very Hot summer day and whales!
Whale report for August 12, 2021
Another successful trip in the books today. We left the scorching hot land for cool relief out on the ocean.
When it’s as hot as it was today, there truly is no better place to be! We headed north and did not have to travel very far until we found our whale- well, two whales, actually. One of the whales was a minke whale and the other was a humpback whale. We first spotted them right of the coast of Ocean Grove but these whales were pretty active and moved around quite a bit. But our skilled captain had no problem keeping up with them and making sure everyone on both sides of the boat got plenty of viewing time. We saw giant schools of Atlantic Menhadden, or bunker fish, that the whales like to feed on. We could see them frantically swimming and jumping at the surface trying to escape being the whale’s dinner. The four months that the whales spend at their feeding ground is the only time they will eat in a 12 month period, so it’s very important for them to eat as much as they can. Humpback whales do not eat during their migration to their feeding grounds or on their migration back to their breeding and calving grounds. They will rely on their blubber stores until they return to the feeding grounds the following year. Atlantic Menhadden is not just a favored food of the humpback whales, but it is also fished commercially. It really isn’t a good eating fish (unless you’re a whale) but it’s an oily fish high in omega 3 fatty acids making it perfect for use in fish oil capsules.
The Clean Water Act has resulted in much less pollution in our oceans which has resulted in an abundance of fish and other marine life. It is believed that the abundance of Atlantic Menhadden in this area is one of the reasons why we are seeing more and more humpback whales right here off the Jersey Shore. You no longer have to travel hours by car or by plane to see humpback whales, you can see them right here along our coast! If you haven’t been on one of our trips yet, don’t wait any longer. We are hitting peak season and our sightings just keep getting better and better. And with this intense summer heat, the ocean is really the place to be!
Everyone enjoyed the cool ocean air and even getting sprayed from a wave here and there. We also have an air conditioned cabin, rest rooms, and snack bar. There’s still a little time left before the kids are back in school so why not take them out on a whale watching cruise and give them something exciting to tell their friends and teachers about! Whale watching is a fun activity the whole family can enjoy and it will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. Don’t miss out- book your trip today!

Another amazing whale watching trip today Wednesday
We left the Belmar marina around 1:30 PM with a nice crowd about 60 people the boat has two levels two bathrooms the kitchen plenty a room for people to spread out air condition inside which was used for three as it was 100° in the parking lot. We headed north towards Asbury park our naturalist Danielle spotted a humpback whale about a mile off the beach we stayed with that well for about 3040 minutes and then headed north towards Seabright where we spotted some dolphins that money on the return back towards Belmar we found hundreds of dolphins playing in the ocean jumping the waves of the boat as we were heading back towards Belmar this was happening around the area of Asbury Park and Ocean Grove. We were all fascinated by watching the bottlenose dolphins, jumping the waves of the boat here are a few photos from today. Join us soon on New Jersey’s number 1 whale watching tour Jersey shore whale watching tour https://jerseyshorewhalewatchingtour.com
Monday Minke whale off Sandy Hook was a treat
On Monday we couldn’t find any humpback whales but we did find an active Minke Whale something we don’t often see. The minke stayed close to the boat and put on a show for us, covering all sides of the boat making the job a little easier for our captain.
About Minke Whales, we don’t see them often the are elusive and fast swimmers, they can swim faster than our whale watching boats!
Common Minke Whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata)
Minke whales are the smallest of the baleen whales, and the smallest baleen whale seen along the Jersey Shore. These whales prefer cooler temperate waters to tropical waters.
Size: Adults to 29 to 33 feet long and up to 10 tons; females slightly larger than males. At birth a minke whale is approximately 9 feet.
Body: the easiest way to identify a minke whale from other baleen whales is by their tradition to lift their pointed snout and head out of the water when they surface.
The body is small and seek, with a sharply pointed head and flat rostrum. Flippers are pointed. Flukes broad.
Color: Black or steel-gray. All of their baleen is white. White bands are found on both flippers.They are beautiful
Dorsal fin: Prominent and hooked or curved like a sickle. Located two-thirds back on the body.
Blow: Low, bushy and difficult to see. Will reach 4 to 8 feet.
Dive: It appears 2 to 4 minutes at the surface, 30 to 60 seconds apart. Then dives between 2 to 8 minutes
Behavior: Minke is a fast moving whale. It will often approach a boat. It can be found alone or in groups of 2 to 3. May enter bays and harbors. We have only had a handful of minke sightings this year.
Hard to keep all the reports on whale watching in New Jersey

A Fin Slapping Fun Time Monday Aug. 2nd. We saw 3 whales
We had Capt Bob today, and a long ride up the coast line passing all the beautiful homes and beach clubs to arrive at the Whales right near Sandy Hook National Park. We passed the beautiful beaches of Avon-by-the-Sea, Bradley Beach,Ocean Grove,Asbury Park,Allenhurst,Deal Long Branch, up past all the. Private beach clubs in Sea Bright.
We arrived in just over an hour at our destination, Sandy Hook National Park. Using many spotters we were able to see the spout of a whale named Jerry and observed him from a safe distance. While we were watching Jerry we saw two spouts in the distance and then went towards them even though it was another mile further away from our eventual return to Belmar shark River Marina. We were rewarded with a great fin slapping display of a possible adult female and its young calf mimicking it’s mother’s? Moves here a an awesome video from today

Sunday it’s August 1st trip review Jersey shore whale watch
Whale party today!!
We had a wonderful trip today!! We had to travel a little farther north than usual to find our whales but it was well worth the trip! When we reached our destination we saw not one, not two, not even three, but FIVE whales in total!!
We spotted three whales at first and they were very curious about us. At one point they even caused our naturalist, Danielle, to jump when they startled her by suddenly surfacing right alongside the boat where she was standing releasing their massive blow of air. It was pretty amazing to witness! You could hear people ooohing and ahhhing all around the boat- everyone was delighted to see these majestic creatures up close and personal. We were closer than usual to NYC so we had great photo ops of the whales with the incredible NYC skyline in the background. A truly unique experience. Captain Allen was the hero of the day for taking us so far north to see the whales and giving us plenty of time to enjoy watching them. Everyone was so happy and applauded him for his efforts. These whales were spending a lot of time near the surface and were really fun to watch. We spotted another whale a little bit south of these three and before we left the area we had 4 whales right around the boat and the 5th one not too far away! It was a whale party with more guests arriving! I wonder how many more whales would have showed up if we stayed longer, but we reluctantly had to return to the dock. Today was probably the best day we had all season so far. But the pattern has been that the trips keep getting better and better and we keep spotting more and more whales! So that is great news for you if you have been thinking about coming out with us but haven’t booked your trip yet. We are the only whale watching tour that guarantees you will see a whale or you return for free! We are 100% committed to giving you the experience of seeing whales in the wild. There is literally nothing to lose and the experience of a lifetime to gain! Our boat is large enough for everyone to have plenty of room and the ability to move around the boat to different locations. We have an upper deck and an indoor air conditioned cabin. We sell drinks, light foods and snacks or you can bring your own food and drinks including beer or wine or whatever you like to have on a warm summer day. Bring your family, bring your friends, this is a fun, educational experience that people of all ages will enjoy. Don’t delay any longer! Book your trip with us today!

Gold medal day
I’m too tired to write a review for the trip so her is Linda’s
It was a Gold Medal type of day! I was disappointed that I didn’t go whale watching yesterday because they saw breaching whales.
But today was the best! Saw dolphins and then continued on in search of a whale. Unbelievable! Saw 2 whales lunge feeding simultaneously! These whales looked larger than what I am use to seeing. Remember for each foot in length, there is a ton of weight. So a 35 foot whale weighs about 35 tons! How can they lunge and breach! They lunge fed numerous times. On some of the pictures you can see the fish around the whales and in their mouths. We saw Jerry! This whale was named Jerry because he was “found” on Jerry Garcia’s birthday! I think on the right side of his body are the marks of a propeller. He is doing fine. Today was perfect “10” and it clearly won a gold medal in synchronized lunge feeding.
Today was special Whale Watching trip review July 27th photos
I knew it was gonna be a special day when I saw the early morning sky what is sunrise go to the beach Belmar.
We left the shark River headed north past the crowded beaches of Avon by the Sea. GPS directions has really put the hidden little town of Avon, on the best beaches in NewJersey map
We then encountered a nice pod of dolphins off Monmouth beach, we didn’t want to stay long as we were looking for whales! Big whales
After observing the beautiful bottlenose dolphins we continue our journey north off of Sandy Hook about 3 to 4 miles offshore oh Sandy Hook beautiful waters NewJersey near the border of New York city. These wells really prefer to be in the waters off of New Jersey it’s just a beautiful site.
Here are a few photos of the beautiful pair of humpback wells we saw one much larger than the other I won’t care says to their ages.
Tuesday was a gorgeous day in the ocean it was nice breeze beautiful come motions conditions average size crowd for a weekday round 50 people it was just beautiful come out well watching with us we have the best guides you and your family will learn a lot about wells in about a Roshan‘s and about how the whales are coming back to New Jersey. It was fitting that today was national New Jersey day and we had a fantastic experience with two beautiful humpbacks at least 50 to 60 dolphins we also saw flying fish. #nationalnewjerseyday
Trip Report July 26th Superpod of Dolphins dazzles passengers today
We left Belmar marina headed out the shark River towards Asbury Park. We encountered a group of 20-30 dolphins stayed with them about 15 mins. We then continued our trip north to the whale feeding groups. We could find any whales today but we were rewarded with a dazzling display of a dolphin superpod.
Here are some photos from today’s trip. Remember when you book with Jersey Shore Whale Watch, We guarantee you will see a whale on our trip or your next trip is free. We had some very happy customers that qualified for a free return trip today, see you soon on jersey shore whale Watch.
Saturday whale watching report
July 24, 2021
A whale of a family affair today!
What an incredible, unique day we had!! We headed north past Asbury , Long Branch and Sandy Hook towards the New York Harbor. Great views of the NYC skyline! We passed dolphins on the way which is always fun, but it didn’t prepare us for what we were about to see. Just past Sandy Hook we came upon two whales, but not the usual juvenile males we see. This duo was actually a mother whale and her calf!! It was so amazing to watch the mother and baby surface side by side! The mother whale was teaching her calf how to lunge feed! It was such a special thing to witness. Truly once on a lifetime experience! As a matter of fact, while seeing whales off the Jersey Shore is common, seeing a mother and calf in these waters is pretty rare. Through our partnership with Gotham Whale we hope to identify this mother whale and learn more about her and her travels. We had perfect weather, perfect ocean conditions and an amazing experience watching this family of whales! This family was spotted earlier this week but we don’t know how long they will be staying around. Don’t wait any longer to book your trip!! Bring your family, bring your friends, whale watching is something everyone enjoys! We promise you will have a great time and we also guarantee you’ll see a whale or you come back for free!
Don’t miss out, book your trip today!

Wednesday whale watching trip review
Very short trip review I wasn’t on the trip Wednesday I took a much-needed day off seven days a week we are watching is a lot and I just needed to do some personal stuff around the house LOL anyway here it is
We left Belmar went along the shark river heading north towards Asbury park and we went about 4 miles off the coast of Monmouth Beach and saw two whales frolicking in the water. Danielle our lead naturalist thinks it was possibly a mother and her calf it wasn’t like a small calf so if it was mother and gift delivered bigger than the average calf she got some great photos I’ll get some more of them hopefully today like I said it was a little trip. The trip was lightly attended because it was forecast for rains which really only appeared on the way back to the dock so everyone had a great time they saw two whales dolphins and there was only about 40 people in the boat which is not a lot of people.
If you were on the trip we would love your review.
Tuesday afternoon whale watching Belmar New Jersey
Today’s whale watching trip was much like Monday’s trip we kind of went along the same route up the coast north towards Seabright we saw dolphins and whale along the way. The water conditions on the ocean was perfect a flat calm day on the ocean.Visibility was a little challenging for us to spots whales as the haze from the Canadian forest fires made seeing more than 1.5 miles tough.Monday visibility was perfect over 5 miles so when using high powered binoculars to spot the whales, the Smokey haze made it tough but we still found a very active humpback whale. I will post photos from the trip shortly. Bill
The luxury yatch helped us spot the whale he slowed down in the distance we could see until he was past the whale and then continued with his powerful jet motor engines
Dolphin Stampede Monday!
We had a gorgeous day on the ocean today. We found over 100 dolphins that were swimming all around the boat and jumping up into the air. They were incredibly active and gave us a spectacular show! After enjoying the wild dolphin show, we headed north to the top of Sandy Hook. On our journey we found many seabirds including Wilson’s Storm-Petrel. We had an incredible view of the NYC skyline, but we did not find any whales. They are wild animals and we never know exactly where they will be. It was a 20 mile round trip looking for whales, but no luck today. Even though we didn’t find any whales today, everyone still had a great time. The ocean water was beautiful, the cool air was refreshing and the dolphins were so much fun to watch. No one was disappointed, especially since all passengers receive a free return trip from Jersey Shore Whale Watch. We look forward to welcoming them back again this season at no charge. We look forward to welcoming you, as well! It’s a great activity for a group of friends or for a fun family outing. All our naturalists are experts in the field and love sharing their knowledge of humpback whales, dolphins and other marine life we see on our cruises. We have an air conditioned cabin, large upper deck, snack bar and plenty of fresh ocean air to breathe! Feel free to bring your own coolers and drinks (adult drinks are allowed) and snacks as well. Don’t wait any longer! Book your trip with us today, we promise you will have a great time!!
Wilson’s Storm-Petrel
Oceanites oceanicus Despite its small size and seemingly weak flight, this bird is at home on the roughest of seas, flying in the troughs of the waves during gales. It also travels huge distances — from the Antarctic to the edge of the Arctic. Although it nests only in far southern oceans, Wilson’s Storm-Petrel is often the most common seabird off the Atlantic Coast of the United States.we find these birds following whales all the time.
We had many birding enthusiasts on our trip today, we will be running some pelagic tours, sign up for our newsletter.

They breathe using their lungs and blowhole and have an amazing capacity for holding their breath. Whales have been known to remain underwater for as long as 45 minutes. Since they must breathe on their own, you might wonder how whales sleep at night.We usally see them underwater for about 5 mins time but they can be under much longer.
Sunday whale watching trip report.

Saturday July 17th whale watching trip report
Friday July 16th whale watching report trip review
After two days not seeing whales, everyone gets a free return trip,to see a whale if they didn’t see one on thier first trip!, we struck gold Friday with two beautiful humpback whales.
Two Whales together and over fifty dolphins!
Well another great day of whale watching in the books today! It was very hot on land but as soon as we left the dock we immediately felt relief from the cool ocean air. We started heading north and it wasn’t long before we spotted a large, active pod of dolphins. There were at least 50-75 dolphins jumping, tail slapping and giving us a nice show. We watched them for a little bit and then continued north towards Long Branch in search of whales until our Captain received a report of a whale just south of Point Pleasant. That was in the opposite direction and about an hour away but we are serious about finding whales! The Captain turned the boat around and we all enjoyed a nice cool cruise south, and it was worth it! We spotted the whale and it wasn’t long before our Naturalist, Danielle, realized there were actually two whales in the area. Everyone was so excited to see not one, but two humpback whales!! Even though we had a full boat, we have a skilled captain who made sure everyone was able to observe the whales and have plenty of photo opportunities.
There was really no better place to be today! Whale watching is a great family activity, especially on a hot summer day. Our whale watching tours are not just fun, but they are educational as well. Our Naturalists have advanced degrees in marine science and conservation biology and love sharing their knowledge about humpback whales, dolphins, and all the marine life we see on our trips. There is so much to discover just off the Jersey Shore. Come explore it with us- Book your whale watching tour today!

Here is passenger Lisa U. Trip report and a few of here Friday photos
Well you probably thought today might be my whale watching day. Nice afternoon trip to escape the heat and spend the day with friends. It was so much cooler on the water although the sun was hot and the shore was covered in a haze. Took off from the inlet and headed north and seemed a little further off shore then usual but they were headed to where there was a sighting. Well we found a large group of dolphins and they were very entertainin: tail slapping, jumping, flipping up side down. They put on a show. Probably 75 dolphins in the entire pod. At the same tim, they were notified of a whale to our south. Turned out it was by Point Pleasant. Saw the spout, waited and had a great surprise! It was 2 whales! They were not lunging or breeching, they were simply swimming along and diving down and coming back up. So gentle for animals that are around 30 feet long and 30 tons! Peaceful, beautiful, everyone silently observing the whales. Funny, when people seen dolphins, the are usually happy, laughing, pointing and talking. With the whales, once they are found, people are usually silent except for the yell of over there at 1 o’clock or similar comment, or the shrieks of happiness when they see a breech or lunge feeding. Otherwise, it is pretty quite as everyone one is in awe! Great day!
Monday whale watching trip report. 2 whales an amazing day
A tail slapping great day of whale watching and some very nice Pelagic birds
Well, we did it again today! We found two different humpback whales who provided a lot of entertainment for everyone on the boat! We headed out on our normal course going north and it wasn’t very long until we spotted the first whale right off the coast of Asbury Park. Our naturalist, Danielle, identified the whale as #136. This is the first time this season that we spotted this whale. He gave us a dramatic tail slapping display with lots of great photo ops. We watched this whale for a while but received reports that there were two other whales a bit north, and hoping they were the same whales we watched lunge feeding yesterday we headed that way. We spotted the second whale at the north end of Long Branch. I recognized him immediately as one of the whales we saw yesterday by the distinct curve of his dorsal fin. Danielle identified this whale as #94. Just like yesterday, this whale did not disappoint! He was on another feeding frenzy lunging through the surface of the water swallowing hundreds of bunker fish in one gulp. At one point the whale was so close to the boat we literally got a great view of its baleen plates and the inside of its mouth. It was truly amazing! And another great part of the day- the rain didn’t start until we were heading back to the dock! Another exciting whale watching experience with Jersey Shore Whale Watch! If you haven’t gone out with us yet, book your trip soon! If you’ve been out with us earlier in the season, now is a good time to come out again as we are seeing more and more active whales every day. We are sailing 7 days a week ( weather depending ) so every one can fit it into their schedules. This is one summer activity you don’t want to miss!!

Sunday July 11th whale watching trip report
July 11,2021
What an exciting day whale watching today! We left the dock with a full boat in cloudy conditions. We headed north passing Ocean Grove, Asbury Park and Deal. We spotted our first whale just off of the north end of Long Branch. The whale gave a spectacular lunge feeding show, shooting up through the water with its mouth wide open to fill with bunker fish. There were several enormous schools of bunker fish and we could predict where the whale would be surfacing by the frantic activity of the fish at the surface. Everyone was thrilled to see this giant of the sea lunge above the water with a mouthful of fish. We watched this whale feed for a while when we spotted another whale just a bit east lunge feeding as well. We left our first whale and went to watch the second whale who also gave us a wonderful show. By this time the sun was shining almost as bright as the smiles on everyone’s’ faces. Another great day on the ocean watching majestic humpback whales! Did you know that less than 1% of the population has ever seen a whale in the wild? We are entering into peak whale watching season- don’t miss the boat- book your trip today! We have an air conditioned cabin, snack bar, plenty of space on two levels. Bring your friends, bring your family, you don’t want to miss this amazing opportunity to see the humpback whales up close! Trish Devoe Naturalist Jersey Shore Whale Watch
And we had another great whale watching trip Sunday full boat we headed north from the Belmar marina towards the waters of the coast of Deal New Jersey where we saw dolphins and a very active humpback whaler Monmouth beach about 2 miles from shore. The whale continued to lunge feed multiple times, to delight of the crowd. I will post many photos in the morning.Thanks everyone for an amazing sold out weekend of whale watching.
From on of our favorite passengers she has been on over 2- tri-s with us Linda U.
What a day! It was the MOST awesome whale watching experience I have had. Seems about 50 minutes after we left the dock there was a whale in the distance spouting. But as we got closure, the whale was hungry and lunge feeding frequently. I do mean frequently. There were schools of bunker fish all around and we we trying to guess where the whale was going the lunge. There were a couple of younger children by me and the were questing very well. They were accurate but the girl also told me she saw two mermaids as we left the inlet.
The whale lunged fed so many times!
Because the feed fish were so plentiful, we only say 2 whale tails since the whales did not need to dive far down.
After a while, another whale was spotted and this whale was also hungry and was lunge feeding. It was a remarkable trip!!!!!!
Also saw some dolphins but I was only watching the whale. Might have a picture or 2 of dolphins. It was a perfect afternoon and even the weather cooperates. It went from mostly cloudy to a beautiful afternoon!

Intimate Concert & looking for whales sunset cruise BSTREET band review
Photos by m Kendrick
We had perfect summer weather for a sunset cruise with the fabulous legendary Bstreet band on the boat we saw dolphins we were looking for whales it was a fantastic night here are some photos we hope to do this again and if we do you don’t want to miss it.
Being on the ocean at sunset and a hot summer night in the sea is nice and cool was amazing. Being there with some of my best friends was wonderful to some of my new friends with met over the last couple of years. It was a night not to be missed
special thanks to Sam Rooney, whose idea was to book the B St. band and helped promote the show Sammy did a great job. Here are some photos from last night as we were passing Asbury Park listening to the music of Bruce Springsteen played by Bstreet band
We made it home to the marina by 10 PM it was cold on the ocean on the way home; everyone was wearing a jacket or a sweatshirt or long sleeve T-shirt they purchased from jerseyshorewhalewatch thanks everybody that came out it was a fantastic evening what a gorgeous sunset.
I really never expected that this would actually happen the ocean is a finicky place to put a band on the second floor of the boat and the logistics of getting all their heavy equipment up there was not easy either but we did it thanks for all the people that helped us get equipment on and off the boat you guys were great I can’t thank you all enough it was just one of those special nights

Amazing whale watching trip Wednesday whales and dolphins
We had an awesome whale watching trip today, photos on the way June 30th 2021. So on every trip we make an announcement saying we need everybody’s eyes on the ocean to find the whale. Today it was a passenger who saw the whale breach as we had passed it, they started banging on the boat, whale whale stop. We stopped and thier was our beautiful humpback whale, about 30 minutes after we had seen hundreds of dolphins today off Sea Bright beach.we all loved it! What an amazing day.
Organized whale watching started in the Belmar by us in 2018, after having seen whales return to the Jersey coastline, I want to share my love of the ocean with all of you. Please join us soon on Jersey Shore Whale Watch
Monday whale watching trip success! 2 whales and dolphins
There was no better place to be today than out on the ocean! It was blistering hot onshore but out on the ocean it was as cool and refreshing as could be. It was so cool people were actually buying our sweatshirts to wear! Everyone was enjoying the ride and the refreshing ocean air. It wasn’t long before we spotted some Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins. The kids and adults alike were thrilled to watch them jumping through the waves. We enjoyed watching them for a bit and then continued north to search for the whales. We spotted a humpback whale right off the coast of Deal New Jersey . Not long after that we saw another whale in the same area! It was a two for one day today! Everyone on the boat was in awe watching these majestic marine mammals. They are now a part of the coveted 1% of people who experience seeing a whale in the wild. Will you be next? Escape the heat and book your trip today. It is an experience you will never forget!!
Saturday whale watching report Monmouth County
Leaving the shark river inlet at Belmar Marina
We started our trip in heavy fog and light rain. We used our state-of-the-art live weather radar to avoid the storm and in doing so we found over 100 dolphins right off Spring Lake Beach. We then headed north going through huge schools of bunker fish, the whales’ preferred food. Our naturalist, Danielle, spotted a humpback whale inshore around the Monmouth Beach area. At the same time, the skies cleared to bright sunshine and the full boat enjoyed a spectacular humpback whale show!
One of the most exciting things about seeing a whale in the wild is simply encountering an animal that still teeters on the brink of extinction. Humpback whales are still on the endangered species list in New Jersey. It is estimated that less than 1% of people living on the planet Earth will see a whale in their lifetime. The good news is, you can be part of that lucky 1% Don’t wait! Book your whale watching tour with us today
Dolphins watching tour trip
We have seen dolphins everywhere this week on our whale watching trips. The great thing about dolphins is there are usually whales nearby when there’s a big pod of dolphins. Dolphins are always an amazing part of our tours. Dolphins feed on the same food as the whales they both love bunker fish. Come out and see hundreds of dolphins on out whale watching trips. Any questions call us 732.451.6003 our trips are 7 days a week currently.
Jersey shore whale watch guarantee is you will see a whale on our trip or your next trip is free.
Dolphins were pushing the bunker to shore in a feeding frenzy. Sometimes they (dolphins and whales) will push the bunker or bait fish onto shore which happened last week at Asbury Park. Dolphins will often ball up bait fish and feed on them using the shore to keep the school in place to feed.
Whale and dolphin watching is a great family experience.
Awesome week of whale watching
I often get asked “when is the best time to go whale watching in New Jersey “ the answer is right now.
The whales are plentiful and are staying close to shore,
plenty of food for them.
Friday reports was just like every other day this week.We saw hundreds of dolphins and multiple Humpback whales along the coastline of Monmouth County New Jersey.
From passenger Linda, a regular on our trips
Went whale watching and saw lots of dolphins and hung out with 2 whales. Saw whale 131 again and another whale (242?) I forgot. Both had been entrapped in fishing gear and are now doing fine. You can see the scars on the side of the body of a propellers. Also both have abnormal tails and one is missing part of its dorsal fins. So beautiful, so relaxing, so much fun! They fished a helium balloon out of the ocean. Please, it you have a helium balloon, dispose of it safely, do not release them. If they fly off, more then likely, they will wind up in the ocean and maybe these whales or other sea creatures will eat it. Not good!
It has been a bountiful summer for bunker in the waters off New Jersey , and for local whale spotters. Bunker, a favorite food of many larger predators, including whales, are enjoying another year in a 15 long recovery.
‘Come out and see the Giants of The Sea, as I call them

Saturday June 12th whale watching trip review.
Saturday whale watching trip report June 12 2021

‘we had a mix of people on board, many regular repeat whales, many first-timers and a few who were back for their free return whale watching trip, because they had not seen a whale on their first trip this year.
‘We were all well rewarded, we saw three different humpback whales today, and the sea was more adventurous than normal, we all enjoyed a cool day on the ocean.

Whale watching capital of New Jersey is Belmar Marina
I have given this a lot of thought and after living on Ocean Ave since 1989 I can say that the most whales in NewJersey are along Monmouth County. The best and closest marina to see the whales off the coast 0f Monmouth is Belmar Marina.
‘Jersey Shore Whale Watch is the original whale watching tour out of Belmar, we guarantee that you will see a whale with our tour.
last year we saw the the following whales off Monmouth County
- Humpback whales
- ‘Finback whales
- Minke whales
- and the very rare North Atlantic Right Whale

Mother’s Day weekend whale watching trip report
May 10th 2021 report
The weather this past weekend was in and out of clouds, rain on and off, we canceled Saturday’s trip. We knew it wouldn’t be good out there, and we didn’t want people out on the ocean not enjoying themselves. We always like to make the journey enjoyable and safe LOL for your grandma.
So now some information about Sundays we are watching trip Mother’s Day small group there was less than 40 people on board the boat holds 150 people so it’s not a lot of people on a two-level boat inside-outside people really had a choice of where they wanted to sit views there was some rain on the trip, but anybody wants to could quickly have gone inside, and most people did, of course, wearing their face covering, while inside the boat in our new reality on the turnaround from Sandy Hook the whale breached spot off of Seabright NJ and put on a friendly show for people they were thrilled. He sent us on our way with a couple of goodbye tail slaps!
we are seeing Whales come out with us soon. Enjoy a day on the ocean, and if for some reason you don’t see a whale, remember these are wild animals you get a free return trip.
Nobody else does that, and no other tour company guarantees you’ll see you will see a whale.
I like to say we take we are watching seriously we’re not looking to just take you out on a friendly boat right on the ocean and see the water we want you to see the Giants of the sea
that we can give you a good time and you see some dolphins maybe a sea turtle see you soon Bill and Danielle and crew
Danielle took this lovely photo of the world today. I was home celebrating Mother’s Day with my 85-year-old mom, so I hope everyone had a nice weekend think whales – Bill

This was a real bucket list photo opportunity.
